Chapter 250 - Chapter 250: Chapter 236 Temporary Respite from Conflict (2/2)
“`
It was just one strike, and the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant had a huge hole torn open in its body, with blood spurting out suddenly.
And with this.
The Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant finally felt pain, and let out a sky-reaching shriek.
It successfully shifted the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant’s hatred as well.
Liu Yiyuan seized the opportunity to flee back.
He then heaved a sigh of relief.
After that, he walked angrily toward Lin Jing:
“When you threw that Five Thunder Talismans just now, were you trying to harm me?”
Lin Jing responded calmly:
“Fellow Daoist must be misunderstanding, I was merely trying to assist you in dealing with the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant behind you.”
“Instead, it was fellow Daoist who, despite knowing my lack of Cultivation, kept moving towards me, perhaps wishing for me to die at the jaws of the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant.”
With so many people present at the time, Lin Jing was not worried that Liu Yiyuan would strike at him.
Further more,
what he had said was indeed the truth.
The place where Lin Jing had been just before was at the edge of the passage, leaning against the rock wall, not standing in the middle of the passage with no way to avoid.
Liu Yiyuan could have easily avoided Lin Jing.
And in doing so,
any clear-eyed person could see that Liu Yiyuan was deliberately charging toward Lin Jing with the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant in tow.
At this moment,
Senior Han stepped forward as well.
He was about to say something
when one of the Qingyuan Sword Sect disciples quickly stopped him:
“Brother Han, let me…”
Then, the Qingyuan Sword Sect disciple began mediating between Lin Jing and Liu Yiyuan:
“Both of you, why not just let it go…”
“After all, no one was injured.”
“Given the urgency of the situation just now, the actions taken were out of necessity, I believe this fellow Daoist was simply too hasty, hence the reckless escape.”
“At a time like this, we should be joining forces.”
And the rest of the people quickly started to echo the sentiment in an attempt to pacify the situation.
And with that, the incident was defused.
After the incident had calmed down…
Everyone then turned their attention back to the two Elders.
They saw that the two Elders had already slain two Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants and only the last and largest one was struggling to hold on.
However,
it didn’t seem like the remaining Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant would last much longer.
Sure enough,
after a short while,
the two Elders cast spells at the same time, with a black streak piercing the body of the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ant.
The Devouring Spirit Ant instantly froze on the spot, motionless, then another streak of sword light flew out, decapitating the largest Devouring Spirit Ant’s head.
The Devouring Spirit Ant fell to the ground with a thump, dead beyond any doubt.
At this point,
the two Elders let out a sigh of relief.
After slaying the Redflame Devouring Spirit Ants, the group didn’t dare to linger.
Those who were injured simply dealt with their wounds hastily.
Subsequently,
the two Elders led everyone to continue moving forward.
After less than half an hour and a few turns, they finally arrived at the end of the path.
There was no more road ahead, only a Formation blocking the way.
Elder Xie gestured for everyone to stop.
Afterward,
Elder Qin stepped forward, stood in front of the Formation, and then took out a Token from his Storage Bag.
He then placed the Token directly on the Formation.
Following that,
the Formation first lit up with white light, and after the light dissipated, the Formation gradually became transparent.
In the end, it vanished completely.
It was at this moment that Elders Qin and Xie walked in.
After they entered, Elder Xie didn’t forget to beckon everyone:
“The Teleportation Array is right here, come on in…”
